the word of the day. yay yay.

may i present to you a new word that i've learnt today. here is... mr "recalcitrant"

recalcitrant \ rih-KAL-suh-trunt \ adjective
1. obstinately defiant of authority or restraint
2a. difficult to manage or operate
2b. not responsive to treatment
2c. resistant

example: anna's doctor ordered a week of complete bed rest, but, ever recalcitrant when it comes to doctors' orders, she was up and baking a cake after two days.

hmm. come to think of it, it's a new word that i can use to describe myself too! nice. :)
